I have a 14 Sportsman 400 and I noticed a noise in my shock / strut however it sounds like it’s the spring I can’t really tell, I can’t hear it when I ride it I can when it’s in the garage and I push down on the front left. It Sounds like a squeak pop really weird sound. Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all doing well, and riding safe,

I’m looking to order a specific connector to fix our 2010 sportsman 500 HO 6×6, and can’t find it anywhere. So I thought I’d try to see if any one here would be able to know. I’ve listed a few pictures also.

Basically it’s one of the two connectors on left handlebar. Its a 6 prong horizontal connector with only 3 wires going to it. One wire is the engine shut off, the second is the power reverse and I think the last is the high beams.

It’s worn on the inside because of having replaced the pico female connectors (610-14) so often. The sportsman has a tendency of just shutting off because of bad connection at this plug. Secondly if anyone knows of any mods that fix this problem that would be great if you would like to share.

Please note I understand replacing the entire wire harness is an option, but we all know that’s ridiculous.

Appreciate all your help and expertise, please be well

Kindly
– Whiskey Fox

Newbie Question:how do I know when I need to replace a ball joint or a wheel bearing?

Hey guys new to the forums and having some problems with my 400.

the first problem i was having is that it was not getting any fuel. so i would try to start it with some brake clean and it would start but run at full throttle. So i cleaned the carb and got it to flow so here is my current problem when i fire it up it the thing will not idle no matter what i adjust it just runs at full power screaming and kicking:hmmm:. so has anyone had this problem? thinking its the reeds but im not to entirely sure.
any help would be much appreciated
Thanks!

just wondering if a control module (the one that has the voltage regulator in it) from a 2007 sportsman x2 500efi would fit my 2006 sportsman 500 efi they have different part numbers but aren’t they the same machine the x2 module is quite a bit cheaper then the sportsman one.

Hey guys,

I am getting ready to replace the drive belt on my 05 scrambler 500 4×4. It is the original belt and I can tell over time it has been slipping more and more and is finally worn out. I see there are several manufacturers making belts for this application. My questions is, what brand is a good belt? I can get the Polaris belt for $72 but I also see a Quad Boss and Dayco belt. Both of which are cheaper but I want a belt that will last a long time and provide the quality like the original did. I don’t mind buying the Polaris belt, but if anyone knows if the other brands are just as good, or maybe even better?

Thanks

I’ve got an 05 sportsman 700 with about 1000 miles that I’m having some issues with. I went for a ride the other day close to home since it hasn’t been started in a few years everything seemed fine so I kept going after getting about 15 miles from home I stopped turned it off for a few mins. When I went to start it it barely idled then sputtered backfired and died. It seemed to be starving for fuel. Long story short the only way I go it home was by turning it over then holding it wide open and it would go ok like that but the second I let off full throttle it continued to loose power until it rolled to a stop the spudered and died did this about 15 times and I was home. So I thought fuel pump or filter- no bypassed filter and checked fuel pressure at rail 40 lbs. next I dumped out all the gas put in new gas blew out the lines … Nothing so I changed the plugs and changed air filter… No difference… So I took the throttle body apart cleaned it pulled the injectors out to see if they had melted or something.. Looked fine… I checked voltage on the tps I have .48 yellow wire and it goes up as i press the the throttle. If I adjust the throttle cable it runs worse. I took apart the air flow sensor cleaned it. Nothing made a difference if I unplug the air flow sensor it seems to run the same. Except I get a code. Other then that I don’t get any codes and nothing I do seems to help. If it was the Bap sensor or the tps sensor that was bad wouldnt I get a code for it?? I’m leaning towards buying a new mass airflow sensor or whatever polaris calls it. Any help would be great.. Thanks in advance.

Hello all, I’m new to form. I have a question regarding the clutch side crank seal for a 92 trail boss 250. The other day my sons trail boss locked up, turns out the rubber inner clutch cover sealing ring came off and wrapped around clutch. I popped clutch off and removed old sealing ring. I’m currently trying to locate a new one as its not available through Polaris. While I was in there, I noticed the crank seal seems to be installed backwards? When looking at the seal, I can see the spring that adds tension to the sealing lip of seal. On all other crank seals I’ve ever done, the side of seal with the spring always went in towards the bearings. Does Polaris want the seal installed backwards, or has someone previously installed seal backwards? I tried downloading a service manual, but had no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you……..
